What did the bearded one think of this strange entry into a children's toy tie-in franchise to a movie no child should ever watch, but did anyway? Click on to find out.....

The Mighty Thew, the man with the amazing beard, has started a new series on Youtube looking at the toys of yesterday and beyond. In the inaugural first episode, he looks at something so colourful and tasty, you'd be forgiven for mistaking it for a packet of Nerds candy - the M.A.S.K. Detonator, from the latter Split Seconds toy wave, where the driver had a holographic copy of himself to help drive the transformed (and split apart) battle vehicles. But is it actually good, or should it stay forgotten in the ravages of time? Look on in wonder!
